Who Can Apply:
- Dr. Edward V. Chavez, a cherished father and and extraordinary athlete, left us on August 10, 2021, succumbing to COVID-19 complications. His passion for sports was not only evident in his personal achievements in football, baseball, wrestling, and marathons but also lives on through his sons, who excel in hockey, baseball, and basketball.
- In memory of Dr. Chavez, this scholarship seeks to support high school students who have faced the loss of a parent and share Edward’s enthusiasm for sports.
- Eligible students are those who have experienced the loss of one or both parents and possess a fervent passion for sports.
Submission:
- Applicants are encouraged to share how the loss of a parent has shaped them, the positive influence of sports in their lives, and their aspirations to make a difference in the world.
- Reflecting on the transformative power of sports and the strength it provides during challenging times can be incredibly moving. It’s inspiring to see how individuals use their experiences to fuel their passion and create a positive impact, much like the story of Alex Sheen who walked over 240 miles to honor a promise, touching the lives of millions.
